I have no idea what happened

Wenisrubber,

You did the right thing. Sometimes we have precious furkids come into our lives whose medical history is unknown. It could've been something in his genes that caused a neurological problem or an infection.

Smokey the Elder is right, maybe a necropsy will give you answers, but then again maybe not. For whatever reason, you guys are in my thoughts and prayers. At least Tier isn't in pain anymore.

RIP sweet Tier. Godspeed to the Rainbow Bridge.

See, that's weird that you mention that because I did some research and some diseases DID come up! One was Intervertebratal Disc Disease and that would mean he would have had it from birth and his untimely demise would have been inevitable.

Thank you very much!

But lots of critters live with, and recover from, IVDD every day. There are even email list servs for paralyzed kitties, but most recover completely, with and without surgery. Many, many vets discourage it, though, for reasons, or ignorance, I don't understand.

Oh, okay. Well, we are just not entirely sure. I just want so badly to understand what happened to him and what was the cause. If he could have been saved, I'll be very furious.
